THOMAS   EAKINS,  ABOUT  1870 


THOMAS  EAKINS 


THOMAS  EAK1NS,  REALIST 

"  I  was  born  July  25,  1844.  My  father's  father  was 
from  the  north  of  Ireland  of  the  Scotch  Irish.  On 
my  mother's  side,  my  blood  is  English  and  Hol- 
landish.  I  was  a  pupil  of  Gerome,  also  of  Bonnat 
and  of  Dumont,  sculptor.  I  have  taught  in  life 
classes  and  lectured  oh  anatomy  continuously  since 
1873.  I  have  painted  many  pictures  and  done  a  little 
sculpture.  For  the  public  I  believe  my  life  is  all 
in  my  work. 

Yours  truly, 

Thomas  Eakins." 

Thus  with  characteristic  brevity  and  natural  modesty, 
in  reply  to  a  letter  requesting  information  regarding  him- 
self, Thomas  Eakins,  destined  to  become  the  greatest  of 
all  modern  realists,  son  of  Benjamin  Eakins,  whose  por- 
trait he  has  immortalized  in  "  The  Writing  Master," 
summed  up  his  career. 

His  first  knowledge  of  art,  however,  was  obtained  at 
The  Pennsylvania  Academy  of  the  Fine  Arts.  Later,  in 
the  autumn  of  1866,  he  went  to  Paris  and  during  three 
years  came  under  the  instruction  of  Gerome  and  Bonnat, 
and  of  Dumont,  the  sculptor.  It  is  interesting  to  note 
that  he  became  a  favorite  pupil  of  that  inimitable 
teacher,  Gerome,  whom  he  always  revered,  and  that  he

I 

was  on  terms  of  intimacy  with  the  entire  Bonheur 
family.  He  saw  Auguste  painting  on  the  large  cattle- 
piece,  which  hangs  in  our  Gibson  collection,  and  many 
were  the  anecdotes  that  he  could  relate  concerning  Rosa 
and  her  brothers. 

Too  ardent  study  resulted  in  impaired  health  and  in 
December  of  1869,  he  forsook  the  studio  life  of  Paris 
for  the  sunny  slopes  of  Spain.  In  the  great  galleries  of 
Madrid,  he  grew  to  know  the  works  of  the  Spanish 
realists,  Herrera  the  Elder,  Ribera  and  Velasquez,  and 
recognized  the  sincerity  and  power  of  their  art,  an 
influence  which  made  itself  apparent  in  all  of  his  after 
work. 

Eakins  returned  to  Philadelphia  in  1870,  where  he 
lived  until  death  ended  his  activities  on  June  25th,  1916. 
He  was  the  head  of  the  Academy  Schools  for  some 
years  and  later  founded  the  Art  Students'  League. 
Elected  an  associate  of  the  National  Academy  of  De- 
sign in  1902,  he  was  made  during  the  same  year  an 
Academician. 

Absolutely  thorough  in  all  things, — he  knew  perfectly 
drawing,  composition,  perspective  and  anatomy,  which 
latter  subject  he  studied  at  the  Jefferson  Medical  College 
under  those  surgeons  of  international  reputation,  Gross 
and  Pancoast.  "  No  painting  should  be  out  of  perspec- 
tive," he  frequently  remarked,  and  was  wont  to  term 
"  cowardly "  those  paintings  that  left  much  to  the 
imagination,  in  spite  of  which  he  was  a  most  tolerant 
man  when  on  a  jury  of  artists. 

8 


But  not  alone  was  it  his  knowledge  of  drawing,  com- 
position, anatomy  and  perspective  that  made  Eakins 
great;  his  constructive  ability  was  wonderful, — he  fairly 
modelled  in  paint,  if  one  may  so  express  it.  He  built  up 
the  whole  form,  giving  every  plane  its  proper  relation 
and  value  so  that  the  feeling  of  being  able  "  to  go  all 
around  "  one  of  his  figures,  the  Gross  or  the  Agnew,  for 
instance,  is  experienced,  as  when  viewing  a  great  Velas- 
quez, but  more  important  even  than  these  was  his 
marvellous  insight  into  character  and  his  power  to 
analyze  and  portray  it,  and  when  one  compares  most 
of  the  portraits  of  our  time  with  an  Eakins'  from  the 
Eakins'  viewpoint,  they  look  weak  and  thin, — the  Eakins' 
stands  out  full  of  life  and  character. 

Illustrative  of  this  talent  was  the  amusing  reply  made 
by  the  late  Edwin  A.  Abbey,  when  asked  as  to  why  he 
did  not  have  Eakins  paint  his  portrait.  "  For  the  reason," 
he  answered,  laughing,  "  that  he  would  bring  out  all 
those  traits  of  my  character  I  have  been  trying  to  conceal 
from  the  public  for  years." 

Look  at  the  men  and  women  whom  Eakins  painted, — 
a  President  of  the  United  States,  surgeons,  physicians, 
physicists,  clergymen,  editors,  educators,  artists,  sculp- 
tors, musicians  and  financiers  ;  none  will  be  found  un- 
interesting; most  of  them  distinguished;  and  all  of  them 
earnest  thinking  men  and  women  with  a  definite  aim  in 
life.  While  a  few  art  lovers  have  always  known 
and  realized  the  remarkable  work  of  this  great  man, 
they  were  necessarily  few,  for  he  was  not  and  could  not 

9 


he  a  popular  portrait  painter.  Insipid  prettiness  did  not 
appeal  to  him,  neither  would  he  endeavor  to  flatter  his 
subject  in  any  way,  nor  was  he  attracted  by  the  sensuous 
or  unclean,  but  it  was  always  character,  character, 
character. 

It  seems  extraordinary  that  while  the  art  world 
during  his  artistic  career  had  been  drifting  from  one 
thing  to  another,  the  majority  of  artists  following  first 
this  cult  and  then  that,  Eakins  himself  remained 
true  to  the  way  he  had  mapped  out, — the  hard  way, 
which  he  trod  sincerely,  honestly,  independently  and 
fearlessly,  all  of  which  traits  were  strong  elements  in 
his  make-up.  It  mattered  not  the  cost,  Eakins  did  what 
he  felt  and  believed  to  be  right  even  though  the  whole 
world  were  against  him. 

An  incident  that  will  chow  his  lack  of  fear 
and  also  his  spirit  toward  his  fellowman  happened  soon 
after  his  return  from  the  West,  where  he  had  been  living 
among  the  cow-boys.  He  had  occasion  to  cross  Walnut 
Street  bridge,  which  was  infested  with  thugs  in  those 
days,  late  one  night,  and  therefore  took  his  large  revolver 
along.  Two  toughs  were  waiting  for  a  possible  victim, 
and,  as  Eakins  walked  across  the  bridge,  he  cocked  his 
revolver  in  his  pocket.  The  thieves  evidently  heard  it, 
for  one  said  to  the  other,  "  Let  him  go  by,  we'll  get  the 
next."  After  Eakins  had  passed  the  men,  he  waited  for 
the  man  following  and  escorted  him  the  rest  of  the  dis- 
tance over  the  bridge. 

To  those  of  us  who  knew  him  intimately  for  a  quarter 

10 


of  a  century  or  more  and  have  always  esteemed  his 
work,  one  and  all,  we  must  say,  "  Here  was  a  man." 
While  this  exhibition  must  mean  much  to  all 
students  of  art,  the  beginners,  whether  they  wish  to 
adopt  his  standards  of  art  or  not,  may  take  a  leaf  from 
his  notebook  and  follow  his  singleness  of  purpose, 
sincerity,  and  fidelity  to  the  great  truths  of  nature,  un- 
affected by  the  cost,  following  art  for  art's  sake,  and 
finally  achieving  what  they  set  out  to  do. 

In  this  memorial  exhibition,  perhaps  the  largest  col- 
lection of  Eakins'  works  ever  brought  together  or  that 
ever  will  be,  we  wish  to  acknowledge  our  thanks  to 
Mrs.  Eakins  and  to  Samuel  Murray,  his  faithful  and 
devoted  pupil,  for  their  invaluable  assistance,  and  to  the 
many  friends  who  have  loaned  their  paintings  to  make 
the  exhibition  a  success. 

Gilbert  Sunderland  Parker.
